131 MAIN is a Blakeney dinner option for steaks, seafood and American dishes cooked over a hickory wood fire. The covered porch and fire pit give you another way to enjoy the evening. Dining-room reservations are available through Resy; the bar and patio take guests first come, first served. The restaurant is cashless, so bring a credit or debit card.
The Northlake Mall Firebirds has a bar and patio for an early bite as well as a full steakhouse dining room. Its weekday shared-plate deals make it useful for a stop after shopping or work. This is the Charlotte Northlake branch, separate from the Huntersville restaurant.

STK puts a lively steakhouse and bar on South College Street in Uptown. Social Hour adds smaller bites before dinner and again on selected late nights. The restaurant also publishes Wednesday patio music, making an early bite an easy start to a longer evening.
Supperland is a Southern steakhouse inside a restored mid-century church on The Plaza, from the same Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown group behind Haberdish and Growlers Pourhouse. Its own site says the restaurant occupies a restored mid-century church in Plaza Midwood and is plain about the work involved: restoring an old building is never an easy task, especially when that building is getting turned into a restaurant. The Bar at Supperland runs out of the church annex behind the main room, and there is a reservations-only speakeasy. It was named a Selected restaurant in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide American South, and its lead bartender Colleen Hughes won the guide's 2025 American South Exceptional Cocktails Award.
